[@TwoWrights]

I'm currently studying sound production at college. I'm 8 months into my first year and have struggld to learn Pro Tools as I am studying from home. All our classes are zoom meetings. I still haven't gotten my hands on a mixing console. You are getting me through this course. Way more helpful than my teacher, who is a professional audio engineer for some big name acts over the last 40 years. You are better at this than him. I am learning more from you. Thank you. I know this is a 2 year old video, but I hope you know that the time you took to make this is still paying off for people. Great work.

[@Tunafishloverr]

Same here

[@Cutty2]

Lmg… it’s full sail ain’t it😂😂😂

[@rickyash3362]

@@Cutty2 Lmao that's what I was thinking. I'm currently attending full sail and have become well accustomed to Logic Pro which I really enjoy using, now Im being made to use Pro Tools but I don't know how to do half the stuff I could in Logic to complete my projects. It's a shame because with the amount students pay for this school, we should receive the proper education on these things without having to search on YT.

[@JesusArmasOficial]

It's called automation, fool. Hahaha. I already know automation in Pro Tools. I must say it's very useful for wide variety of things. However, I came here to say that this bud is always in a good mood. That'll make easier for people to learn man. Keep doing what you do.

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam!! Anytime I’m in the studio, I’m happy.

[@ACES-BRAZIL]

@@waynewav auto automation per peak man...untouch fader...

[@tucups1809]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 if you love music then you HAVE to love everything he teaches. This is AMAZING 🙌🏾

[@theexile1155]

HALLELUYAH!(PRAISE YE YAH!) HE can heal you and forgive all sins, with HIM what you thought impossible, GOD can change(Matthew 19:26).

[@allstonian13]

Thank you. I keep telling friends: Wavy doesn't tell you how you should sound...he shows you how to use the equipment better to sound like yourself. Much respect.

[@XPose_]

Do a tutorial on automating panning. I think that's a dope effect on vocals

[@waynewav]

These same tecniques can be used for panning. You simply have to move the Pan knob instead of a fader.

[@tooeztv760]

🤯 ✊🏾

[@zack3585]

Hey man, thanks for being such a great teacher..I went to school for over a year for audio engineering/production and it was the biggest waste of time/money. I left there with the same amount of knowledge that I walked in with but everyday I'm learning new things from you. Thanks man, you deserve success!

[@AstronoizeOfficial]

I've been using Pro Tools for over 10 years now and never knew about the tip you shared at 13:40. Thanks!!!

[@BizzyBeatzz]

this is such a good video. never knew how to use automation I was always just to intimidated to try but this was a great tutorial. taught me lot, cant wait to use this to spice up my mixes.

[@jonathanstish6398]

Wayne you are a legend!! Thank you for your time and hardworking. Been learning a lot from your work

[@creatingbeauty5522]

Thank you for this. I'm just learning and don't even know that much about protools. Everyone else's videos I saw on this subject left so much out I couldn't do anything. Your video showed enough other parts that I was actually able to do it! Thank you so much. You da king. I subbed you and clicked the bell because you actually helped me accomplish what I needed to.

[@ezporcelain]

Thank you! It's priceless! 13:33 You probably already know but we couldn't see the tracks section behind the video in the corner when you were making the changes there.

[@BrandonAyre]

Beautiful instruction! Thank you. Great energy too! Definitely will be back for the record vocals at home 'Rona video...

[@CoolLava]

You do good. I watch your videos to freshen up on topic s I haven’t used for a while. Great info and always entertaining.

[@charleslutz269]

Great vid Wayne - very helpful! Good explanations and you incorporate the artistic aspect perfectly (the feedback bit on the delay was particularly great)!

I'm just random cat trying to learn how to do what I love the most and I must say that a lot of your videos have made it possible. So many lessons broken down so that even a 10 year old could it and always in the best mood too. I appreciate everything you do and pretty soon I'll snag some merch to show support. Keep inspiring and much love bro!

Sincerely; Mark P.S. Beware of record mode in automation :0

[@keithlindsay5012]

I’m recording live sets so I have to automate music(volume )a lot especially keys 🎹 Bringing strings in and out to creating song sections.

[@vi_zikx]

Tnx for the tip. by the way, I tried several times for the plugin automation activating on windows (ctrl+alt+windows key+ clicking on a parameter) and it won't work at all! what do you suggest me to do? I really need that shortcut. Is there any other way a least for changing or edit that shortcut key?

[@Kabodnm]

Keep these videos coming

[@waynewav]

Will do

[@olzhcinema4232]

Hi! Can U explain why we need to make bus, if we can send track only on aux track?

[@JohnDough98]

wavy how you doing,i been having that exact problem wit the write mode & been watching your vids trying to figure it out smh. how would i delete the automation if i already saved it ?

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

WAYNE! I am desperate lol. I would love to automate two or three things at once using my knobs on my midi controller. How do i go about setting this up in Protools? Been looking everywhere. Thank you

[@truthreat5098]

Bro you make all my mixes sound Phenomenal and I don’t pay you shit.... Thanks

[@espantaespantos2407]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you!!!!

[@Herbsus]

how do you group automations to different sends or copy automation from one send to another doing the same thing like 1/8 delay and 1/4 delay on the same track?

[@BrandishBeats]

Dwl man I'm trying to copy plugins automated plugins and paste it on other knobs of the same plugin in the same track and don't budge.

[@RudyrhythmzRudyrhythmz]

You can also open multiple automation lanes with the little arrow below the track in edit view

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

My friend - I would love to automate two or three things at once using knobs on my midi controller. How do i go about setying this up in Protools? Been looking everywhere. Thank you
